The only way to eradicate corruption is full democracy. Governors should be elected for a single term of 5 years, then barred from further appointments for 6 years after than. State and regional legislatures should adopt a committee-centered organization, and constituencies should not be divided into districts. 1/4 of all MPs should face elections each year. Russian ministers should also be members of the Duma, and MPs should be elected along with members of regional councils. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
